Today, I decided to take a nap before a big job interview at 6. I set two alarm clocks to make sure I didn't miss it, but I woke up at 5:59. As I'm scrambling in a panic to get out the door, my mom says calmly, "I took your alarm clocks out of your room because you looked really tired today." FML

Today, after going to bed at a decent time last night so I could get up early, I overslept. Not only that, I thought today was the day of my job interview, so I rushed to get ready and go. As I parked in the parking lot, I realized today was the day before said interview. FML

Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I spent all of last night preparing, researching the company, and making sure everything was perfect. My interview was for 8am. I woke up at 10:30 to an alarm that had not gone off. FML

Today, I had an important test at 7 in the morning, so I sat the alarm at 6 o'clock and fell asleep. Later I was woken up by a call from my friend asking me why I didn't show up for the test. It was 9:30. I'd sat the alarm at 6:00 PM. FML

Today, I went to a job interview. The person giving me my interview was late, and while waiting for them I fell asleep. When they arrived, they didn't even bother interviewing me because they thought I was irresponsible since I fell asleep because they were late. FML

Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML

Today, I set aside some time to take a power nap at my desk. I set an alarm, but it didn't go off. I woke up hours later to find my coworkers had surrounded my desk, taking bets on when I'd wake up. FML

Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5am, my mom came in and knocked loudly. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML

Today, I woke up and saw that my alarm clock had fallen on the floor. It read 9:05 am. I panicked because I was late for work. As I frantically got ready, I went to pick my alarm clock up to place it back on my nightstand when I realized it was upside down. The actual time was 5:06. FML

Today, I had a job interview at 9:00am. I left at around 8:30am, and as soon as I got in the car to drive to the interview, I checked my phone again, and it said 10:33. My boyfriend had decided to change the time on my clock as a "joke." FML

They always mean well. Then they always get upset when you get angry at them because they just 'meant well'. argh it's a vicious cycle. fyl also, not everyone gets groggy from naps, and they are actually refreshing and can help clear your mind

Its obvious that the OP's mother knew that she had alarms set for a reason, if she took them both out duh. She was looking out for her child's safety. She most likely knew about the important interview, but what is a job to a person that died because they fell asleep behind the wheel of their car or fell out in the streets due too lack of sleep. What mother wants too get a call like that? She lives with her parent(s), there is not much for her to worry about. If her mom cared enough to unplug her alarms, I'm sure her mother wont throw her out if she doesn't have the money to pay rent. (if she even has to pay rent)

Actually the mom was being a normal woman and not understanding the importance of anything and just acting on her woman's tuition

If she knew about the interview, she tried to keep you asleep on purpose. She doesn't want you to have a job, she doesn't want her baby growing up. Maybe go to your bedroom and lock the door next time. Hopefully she doesn't then shut the power off to the whole house just to stop your alarms.
